Chief Ray Riddle
- Kelly Severide: Hey, Chief.
- Wallace Boden: Come on in, Kelly.
- Kelly Severide: Chief Riddle, how are you?
- Chief Ray Riddle: Very well, Lieutenant. Thank you.
- Dallas Patterson: Dallas Patterson.
- Kelly Severide: Yeah, I think we met at Boden's wedding. Good to see you. So what's going on?
- Wallace Boden: Chief Riddle's got some news.
- Chief Ray Riddle: The high rate of turnover here at Squad 3 has raised a red flag at headquarters. In just three years, you've gone through Vargas, Mills, Clarke, Hadley, Newhouse, Mills again, and most recently, your friend, for whom you vouched, Scott Rice.
- Kelly Severide: Each one of those men had a different situation. Family issues, injuries...
- Chief Ray Riddle: But they all had one thing in common, Lieutenant: your leadership.
- Kelly Severide: You're really gonna hold me accountable for all those men?
- Chief Ray Riddle: Severide, a decision has been made. We're stripping you of your rank.
- Kelly Severide: What?
- Wallace Boden: I'm really sorry, Kelly. I disagree with this, but... it is happening.
- Chief Ray Riddle: Captain Patterson will be taking over command of Squad 3. Effective immediately.
- Dallas Patterson: But I'd like you to remain with the company. Your reputation as a firefighter is not in question.
- Kelly Severide: No, just my ability to lead.
- Wallace Boden: It's a lot to take on board, Kelly. Why don't you give us a minute?
